  • Zelenskiy sacks security chief, prosecutor
  • Hundreds of treason, collaboration cases launched
  • Russia shells total entrance line – Ukraine army
  • Kyiv says Western equipped long-range arms working
  • Moscow orders troops to accentuate operations

KYIV, July 18 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy sacked the pinnacle of the nation’s home security service and state prosecutor, citing hundreds of cases of alleged treason and collaboration with Russia, as Moscow appeared set to step up army operations.

Zelenskiy stated greater than 60 officers from the SBU security service and prosecutor’s workplace had been working in opposition to Ukraine in Russian-occupied territories, and 651 treason and collaboration cases had been opened in opposition to regulation enforcement officers.

The sackings on Sunday of Ivan Bakanov, head of the security service, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, who led efforts to prosecute Russian battle crimes, and the sheer quantity of treason cases reveals the massive problem of Russian infiltration as Kyiv battles Moscow in what it says is a combat for survival.

“Such an array of crimes against the foundations of the national security of the state … pose very serious questions to the relevant leaders,” Zelenskiy stated. “Each of these questions will receive a proper answer.

In his nightly speech to the nation, Zelenskiy noted the recent arrest on suspicion of treason of the SBU’s former head overseeing the region of Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 that Kyiv and the West still view as Ukrainian land.

Zelenskiy stated he had fired the highest security official at the beginning of the invasion, a call he stated had now been proven to be justified.

“Sufficient proof has been collected to report this individual on suspicion of treason. All his felony actions are documented,” he stated.

3,000 CRUISE MISSILES

After failing to capture the capital Kyiv early in the invasion, Russian forces using a campaign of devastating bombing now control large swaths of Ukraine’s south and east, where pro-Russian separatists already control territory.

Zelenskiy stated Russia had used greater than 3,000 cruise missiles thus far and it was “unattainable to depend” the number of artillery and other strikes so far.

Dozens of relatives and local residents on Sunday attended the funeral of 4-year-old Liza Dmytrieva, one of 24 people killed in a Russian missile strike in the city of Vinnytsia last week.

Western deliveries of long-range arms are beginning to help Ukraine on the battlefield, with Kyiv citing a string of successful strikes carried out on 30 Russian logistics and ammunitions hubs, using several multiple launch rocket systems recently supplied by the West.

The strikes are inflicting havoc with Russian provide strains and have considerably lowered Russia’s offensive functionality, based on Ukraine’s defence ministry.

Ukraine’s southern Operational Command reported that in the Kherson region, it had destroyed two Russian Pantsir missile systems, three strategic communication systems, one radar station, two ammunition depots, and 11 armoured and military vehicles on Sunday.

The Russian military are also using radio-electronic warfare to suppress satellite communication channels, the Ukrainian General Staff said in a statement early on Monday.

RUSSIA INTENSIFIES OPERATIONS

Russia has ordered military units to intensify operations to prevent Ukrainian strikes on areas held by Russia, according to Ukraine which on the weekend reported shelling along the frontline in what it said was preparation for a fresh assault.

Ukraine’s basic workers stated its forces had repelled Russian assaults in a number of cities within the Donetsk area.

“Fighting is at the moment ongoing close to Hryhorivka close to the executive between Luhansk and Donetsk areas,” it said.

Overnight at least 10 explosions were reported in the southern city of Mykolaiv, but there was no information on casualties, while two people were killed and 10 wounded in Avdiivka and Novy Donbas, said Ukraine’s general staff, citing local officials.

Reuters couldn’t instantly confirm the reviews.

The British defence ministry said on Sunday that Russia was reinforcing defences across areas it occupies in southern Ukraine after pressure from Ukrainian forces and pledges from Ukrainian leaders to drive Russia out. read more

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion on Feb. 24 calling it a “particular army operation” to demilitarise its neighbour and rid it of harmful nationalists.

Kyiv and the West say it was an imperialist land seize and try reconquer a rustic that broke free of Moscow’s rule with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The biggest conflict in Europe since World War Two has killed more than 5,000 people, forced more than 6 million to flee Ukraine and left 8 million internally displaced, says the United Nations.

Ukraine and the West say Russian forces are concentrating on civilians and been concerned in battle crimes, prices Moscow rejects.
